Who's Who at the Rescue

Gloria Matsushita, DVM

Chief Veterinarian

Gloria grew up in Hawaii before moving to Colorado to attend Colorado State University. She graduated as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) in 2008 after having been admitted early with only three years of undergraduate schooling. She began volunteering in our clinic in 2009 to gain more experience with anesthesia and surgeries. Her amazing ability to learn quickly and her friendly nature are what led Sarah to offer her the position as Staff Veterinarian. Before working at FCCRSNC, Gloria gained much clinical experience by working as a veterinary technician at a local veterinary hospital for a year. She had developed a love for shelter medicine while in high school, where she spent her junior and senior years volunteering for her local animal shelter. Outside of work Gloria loves being outdoors and has a passion for traveling around the world. She hopes to see FCCRSNC move into a larger facility and continue rescuing homeless cats in our community.E-mail:Dr.Gloria@fccrsnc.org
